Title: FC V8 Racer Post by: normd on October 04, 2003, 01:31:56 PM I remember this car running at Amaroo Park in the early 70's , it was built by Bill Slattery ,I think he had a Chev V8 in it and he couldn't fit the steering box in , so he did a swap and made it "Left hand drive" . Sounded REALLY great. If anyone remembers it , it was light Yellow.
